Purple would be cool. I'm sure it still sounds hollow. :|

No, the Tiger sounds full and is good in tune, but needs much air and has a difficult speech(?). Nothing for children imo.

I know, I own one. It does take a lot of air. Plays a lot differently than a brass horn. Still, is fun to goof off with.

Thank you, Jim.

Any place in the US carry this? I think it's a cool idea but would love to try it out.
